I’ve been helping people lead more intentional lives for over 20 years. Anxiety can cause thoughts to be out of proportion to reality, stop you from doing what you want to do, and make you feel out of control. I’m trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, developmental models,and anxiety and depression management. I will support you in creating a set of tools to help you manage your anxiety. Most importantly, you're a distinctive person, with distinctive needs. My goal is to work with you as a unique individual, and focus on YOUR goals.

I work with men who are overwhelmed and stressed. They feel successful in the work they do, but they're finding that they don't have the capacity to manage life outside of work anymore. They feel like the demands of their relationship with a spouse or children is too much. Now, let's admit, they've never been good at talking about stuff. Talking about what's going on inside their head and expressing how they feel just isn't their strong suit. But they're not coping well. They avoid the stress by finding their own little place to unwind and keep a distance from everyone so they can get some peace for a minute (or hours). Let's try something different. I'm hear to listen.

Learn to work with the energetic messenger anxiety is while establishing concrete strategies for managing chronic and acute anxiety attacks through use of breath, and grounding. Learn to create an inner dialogue that can calm the threat of anxiety, and change the relationship with the role anxiety is allowed to play in your life. Numerous approaches can be take to explore stresses including your beliefs about productivity, where your value comes from, and setting boundaries with self and others.

Anxiety is like a constant churning of worry and self-doubt. It may push us away from social activities, isolate us in our homes, identify fearful objects and preoccupy us with order and routine. It may even leave us terrified and thinking we are losing our minds. These and other presentations of anxiety require attention and care. The earlier we attend to the demands of anxiety, the sooner we can begin to become free of it. Stress is different, although it feels the same at times. Your care needs to be tailored to the specifics of what you are experiencing. I practice Integrated Therapy, which offers a selective approach to using all the tools and forms of counselling available to help you.
